Ground Water Information <br /> Depth and Gradient <br /> Live Oak reviewed ground water elevation information available from the San Joaquin <br /> County Flood Control and Water Conservation District to determine the ground water <br /> levels near the Site. Data from the fall of 2017 and the spring of 2018 were the most <br /> recent available from this source. According to an analysis of these maps (Plates 5 and <br /> 6), ground water elevation is approximately 16 to 18 feet below mean sea level. Ground <br /> water appears to flow to the northeast at a rate of approximately 5 feet per mile. <br /> Given that the ground elevation of the Site is approximately 24 feet above mean sea <br /> level, the depth to water below the Site is estimated to be approximately 40 to 42 feet. <br /> Potential Ground Water Contamination Issues <br /> The Soil Suitability Study is not intended to be an investigation into ground-water <br /> contamination sources, and no such investigation was conducted. Many sources can <br /> contribute to ground-water contamination, including leaking underground storage tanks, <br /> agricultural activities, dairies, septic systems, and storm water infiltration. Agricultural <br /> activities and the use of septic systems in the area are known ground-water <br /> contamination sources with the potential to impact the Site. <br /> Two common ground-water contaminants in San Joaquin County are nitrate and <br /> dibromochloropropane (DBCP). Live Oak reviewed the San Joaquin County <br /> Environmental Health Department's maps of Nitrate — Land Use Data and DBCP— Land <br /> Use Data dated February 20, 2019 (Plates 7 and 8). According to the nitrate map, ten <br /> wells within a one-mile radius of the subject Site have been tested for nitrate. Nine of <br /> these wells were found to contain nitrate at a concentration between 0.1 and 5.0 mg/L; <br /> no nitrate was detected in the final well. According to the DBCP map, eight wells within <br /> a one-mile radius of the Site have been tested for DBCP. No DBCP was detected in <br /> any of the wells. <br /> On-Site Wells <br /> A domestic well is located on the Site (Plate 2). One well permit was identified for the <br /> Site from among the files of the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department. <br /> The permit, dated September 1985, was for a new pump at the domestic well. This <br /> permit has been attached in Appendix 4 of this report. <br /> LOGE 2104 Page 3 <br />
